Brian, you are getting the hang of it.
On my web page, Moodle Notes, near the top, I share the CSS that I have added to Boost and Moodle 4.2. Some of what I do addresses what you want to do, and perhaps a little more.
Also, a little below my CSS, I have a video showing how I add Collapsed Topics to my moodle. You don't need to do this, but the video will show you how my Moodle looks with my CSS changes (and a few admin setting changes).
